7. Formal Translation I said, “Surely you will fear Me {Yahweh, Righteous Judge} and accept discipline. Then your dwelling would not be cut off according to all that I appointed against you. But truly, they rose early and corrupted all their deeds.” |
7. Dynamic Translation I said, “Surely you will respect Me {Yahweh, Justice Giver} and accept My correction. Then your home would not be destroyed by all I had set against you. But in reality, they were eager to keep ruining all their actions.” |
